Puppets are pretty cool actually. It kinda sucks not too many people learn or practice puppetry these days, and mostly our reference to “puppet” is a metaphor for an unthinking individual. The metaphor has taken prominence over the actual practice. Disgusting. That’s why when I win the lottery, I’m going to found a College of Puppetry, preferably in some dying Appalachian town. Maybe multiple ones, actually, like 8 of them, each in a different state, and we’ll have a team marionette competition instead of football and basketball, and keep it a perfect 8. Can you imagine the Dirtgod Appalachian Schooling Conference Marionette Tournament, every summer to wrap up on June 27th, international DJ Screw, because that’s the perfect in-between mini-holiday excuse to keep it chill between Juneteenth and 4th of July.
